linux驱动编写（nand flash驱动）

    很长一段时间，nand flash都是嵌入式的标配产品。nand flash价格便宜，存储量大，适用于很多的场景。现在很普及的ssd，上面的存储模块其实也是由一块一块nand flash构成的。对于linux嵌入式来说，开始uboot的加载是硬件完成的，中期的kernel加载是由uboot中的nand flash驱动完成的，而后期的rootfs加载，这就要靠kernel自己来完成了。当然，这次还是以三星s3c芯片为例进行说明。

1、nand flash驱动在什么地方，可以从drviers/mtd/Makefile来看

obj-y		+= chips/ lpddr/ maps/ devices/ nand/ onenand/ tests/

2、nand在mtd下面，是作为一个单独目录保存的，这时应该查看nand下的Kconfig

config MTD_NAND_S3C2410
	tristate "NAND Flash support for Samsung S3C SoCs"
	depends on ARCH_S3C24XX || ARCH_S3C64XX
	help
	  This enables the NAND flash controller on the S3C24xx and S3C64xx
	  SoCs

	  No board specific support is done by this driver, each board
	  must advertise a platform_device for the driver to attach.

config MTD_NAND_S3C2410_DEBUG
	bool "Samsung S3C NAND driver debug"
	depends on MTD_NAND_S3C2410
	help
	  Enable debugging of the S3C NAND driver

config MTD_NAND_S3C2410_CLKSTOP
	bool "Samsung S3C NAND IDLE clock stop"
	depends on MTD_NAND_S3C2410
	default n
	help
	  Stop the clock to the NAND controller when there is no chip
	  selected to save power. This will mean there is a small delay
	  when the is NAND chip selected or released, but will save
	  approximately 5mA of power when there is nothing happening.

3、不难发现，MTD_NAND_S3C2410才是那个真正的macro，尝试在Makefile找文件

obj-$(CONFIG_MTD_NAND_S3C2410)		+= s3c2410.o

4、查看s3c2410.c文件，看看基本结构构成

static struct platform_driver s3c24xx_nand_driver = {
	.probe		= s3c24xx_nand_probe,
	.remove		= s3c24xx_nand_remove,
	.suspend	= s3c24xx_nand_suspend,
	.resume		= s3c24xx_nand_resume,
	.id_table	= s3c24xx_driver_ids,
	.driver		= {
		.name	= "s3c24xx-nand",
		.of_match_table = s3c24xx_nand_dt_ids,
	},
};

module_platform_driver(s3c24xx_nand_driver);

5、继续分析s3c24xx_nand_probe函数

		s3c2410_nand_init_chip(info, nmtd, sets);

6、之所以从中摘出了s3c2410_nand_init_chip这个函数，是因为里面进行了函数注册

类似的函数还有s3c2410_nand_update_chip函数

	chip->write_buf    = s3c2410_nand_write_buf;
	chip->read_buf     = s3c2410_nand_read_buf;
	chip->select_chip  = s3c2410_nand_select_chip;
	chip->chip_delay   = 50;
	nand_set_controller_data(chip, nmtd);
	chip->options	   = set->options;
	chip->controller   = &info->controller;

	switch (info->cpu_type) {
	case TYPE_S3C2410:
		chip->IO_ADDR_W = regs + S3C2410_NFDATA;
		info->sel_reg   = regs + S3C2410_NFCONF;
		info->sel_bit	= S3C2410_NFCONF_nFCE;
		chip->cmd_ctrl  = s3c2410_nand_hwcontrol;
		chip->dev_ready = s3c2410_nand_devready;
		break;

	case TYPE_S3C2440:
		chip->IO_ADDR_W = regs + S3C2440_NFDATA;
		info->sel_reg   = regs + S3C2440_NFCONT;
		info->sel_bit	= S3C2440_NFCONT_nFCE;
		chip->cmd_ctrl  = s3c2440_nand_hwcontrol;
		chip->dev_ready = s3c2440_nand_devready;
		chip->read_buf  = s3c2440_nand_read_buf;
		chip->write_buf	= s3c2440_nand_write_buf;
		break;

	case TYPE_S3C2412:
		chip->IO_ADDR_W = regs + S3C2440_NFDATA;
		info->sel_reg   = regs + S3C2440_NFCONT;
		info->sel_bit	= S3C2412_NFCONT_nFCE0;
		chip->cmd_ctrl  = s3c2440_nand_hwcontrol;
		chip->dev_ready = s3c2412_nand_devready;

		if (readl(regs + S3C2410_NFCONF) & S3C2412_NFCONF_NANDBOOT)
			dev_info(info->device, "System booted from NAND\n");

		break;
	}

7、抓住了函数接口，就找到了基本逻辑。

对于框架来说，它不关心你的代码如何实现。只要你按照它的接口写，就能让上层正常获得数据。platform、usb、pci这都是一种接口形式，具体实现还要按照各个具体功能模块来实现才行。

8、为什么我们都用s3c芯片进行举例

因为它用的场景最多，学习资料最全，对于新手来说，这会少很多麻烦。
